"Eve Online login servers are completely obliterated, looks like their website got knocked off via overkill."
"Eve website may or may not work off and on; we're not actually hitting it, their stuff is so crappy that it goes down with the logins."
"Eve server status: Uh-oh Tranquility!"
Lulz Security flooded the server Tranquility on Eve Online causing it to go offline. The attack was about an hour ago, supposedly at 1:00 Eve said though. The website also crashed on and off as two of the above tweets mention, but it wasn't through LulzSec. Eve Online responded with an article on their site here. It states that at 17:55 UTC they went offline to conduct a search to see if any personal information or anything else was breached figuring out that nothing was in fact stolen. The servers were brought back on at 23:00 UTC. They're going to continue to monitor the situation in case it occurs again.
